My WCS Runner
So this was in the garage and I thought i better start on it
I've been collecting parts for this for over a year and I'm just waiting on a couple of parts to finish it off.
New alloy motormount with belt tensioner
New TCS
Building from a stack of parts and another car takes so much longer but I think is more satisfying I think
Gonna use the ballraced steering I got a while ago on this I just need to de anodise it I think to go with the mount.
Rear shock tower support added with a mod stole from Mr Wooster (great idea as always Dan)
So that's as far as I can go till the rest of my bits show up and I can't wait to get it finished and on the track.

Re: My WCS Runner
WOW beautiful aluminum pieces. Who made them? Is it a Yokomo steering system? I really like the center bulk head!

Re: My WCS Runner
The steering is after market not sure who made it but I'm sure someone will. The bulkhead was a yoke one and I've been saving it just for this build, it's nice to get it out and put it on somthing.
I've got a couple other special parts en route for this car too

Re: My WCS Runner
I can still Almost build a 91, but a 93 is not even a dream for me. Terribly interesting being a mix of old and new. By the way, were the 93 and 95 wcs shock towers the same design?

Thanks for that buddy.crusaderlyf wrote:the steering bell crank was by phoenix, made in Japan.
Sal, the 93 and 95 towers were diffrent the 95 rears were more like the 94 ones with the cut out in the centre there's a good source here

Re: My WCS Runner
So after getting my parts from Fiberlitye I could carry on there a great match over the originals
These are the FL front towers that until they arrived I didn't notice they were wrong, but luckily I had a couple of spares.
Now coming to get her nicely
Now I found my turnbuckles I can finish it off

Re: My WCS Runner
Couldn't resist a photo opp of them both together with the Rory Cull shell that will end up on it, wether it gets run I'm yet to decide
There's still a little to finish off but I'm hoping to have it running soon

Re: My WCS Runner
Thanks buddy, there's just a couple of little bits left to do. I met to point out my yoke style wing that I cut from an AE high downforce wing inspired by master painter Trung
Turned out pretty well for a first attempt

Re: My WCS Runner
So last Saturday saw the IconicRc meet at Broxtowe MCC great turnout and I managed to get some time with the WCS on track.
When the track dried out fulley it had so much grip I think I need some mini spikes on it rather than pins. But all in all its a great car to drive and I can't wait to get it back out.

That's great that you run it after such a painstaking build. It looks awesome.
